2nd TWISTER

IN FEW YEARS HITS

Thursday, Feb. 24, at 2 o’clock, during the heavy rainfall that visited the greater part of Maury County, a little twister ducked down and hit the farm of Willie Jones on the Bear Creek Pike and almost demolished a 31x150 foot shed, hit the barn of B.P. Lunn and blew most of it down, and did considerable damage to trees and fencing on the Bob Hunter farm, Mr. Jones stated today.

Mr. Jones said this was the first time he had been to town since the storm as the reason the news had not been given to the press.

This was the second time the Bear Creek section has been visited by these miniature twisters in the past three years, he said.
